Description: Gym Shoulder Workout

Keep your back straight, brace your core, and then slowly lift the weights out to the side until your arms are parallel with the floor, with the elbow slightly bent.

Selecting the correct weight is key to doing lateral raises properly and safely. You’ll find that even with relatively light weights, the last few raises are a real challenge

Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise

When performing this lift, do not rock or sway—always keep a strong and stationary torso. 

If you sway or find that you are rocking back on your heels in order to complete the lift, for example, then the weights are probably too heavy.

Alternating Front Lateral Raise

Use a lighter weight than you normally would for regular lateral and front raises.

Stabilize your torso by engaging your core and leg muscles. Do not allow your low back or rib cage to sag or arch, and keep your legs straight.

Alternating Around the Worlds

At the start of each rep focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together, then focus on using your shoulders to initiate the lift and get the plate moving.

Keep your chest up during each rep to maintain a strong and stable upper back, which in turn allows better and smoother movement patterns of all the muscles and joints involved in the lift.

Press Out To Upper Press

Keep your torso as motionless as possible through the exercise & do not sway or rack to get the weight up. If you are doing this it's too heavy.
